Synopsis

Inspired by the game Yatzy, I regularly started rolling dice in an attempt to get a 5 alike or a Yatzy,
in just one throw. According to die roll probabilities, the odds of achieving a single-throw Yatzy
is 1 in 1296.

According to this Finnish Public Broadcaster website—on the day of my first roll—I statistically have 13678 days of life left.

Taking the aforementioned figures into consideration, and assuming I continue rolling the dice
constantly, I should reach my goal of a single-throw Yatzy in time before I die.
